Strategy For Sports Collaboration Between India & Australia
The Strategy for Sports Collaboration between India and Australia outlines a comprehensive framework to deepen bilateral cooperation across the sports ecosystem. Australia, recognised globally for its high-performance systems, cutting-edge sports science, advanced governance, and strong grassroots participation, is a natural partner for India as it expands its sporting ambitions, including its bids for the 2036 Olympics and 2030 Commonwealth Games.
The report identifies key areas for collaboration such as capacity building, high-performance pathways, sports education, infrastructure development, integrity systems, and sports technology. It highlights the value of knowledge exchange, leveraging Australia’s experience in hosting major sporting events and creating strong legacy models. Collaboration also extends to areas like para sports, diversity and inclusion, and leveraging the Indian diaspora to enhance people-to-people ties.
Rooted in a shared history and strong political, economic, and cultural ties, the strategy sets the foundation for practical, mutually beneficial partnerships that strengthen India’s sporting ecosystem while advancing Australia’s global sporting engagement.
